A/N: Thanks for all of the love I received on the first part of this! Seriously, it was great. I missed writing on here. So, I have told you guys there was only going to be a second part and then it would end...turns out I lied. Idk how long this will be, so I'm just considering it a short story, hopefully this won't be too long, but I can't even make any predicitions at this point.

Anyway this chapter is sappy, and dramatic, I hope you guys enjoy!

"I guess it was stupid to think we could just start over," Sasuke says beginning the process of admitting everything. But how was he supposed to explain why he was here?

He was hoping to avoid this confrontation for as long as possible. He knew he would have to come clean eventually after he started to speak with Naruto in the first place. He always knew he'd have to confess, that was never not an option. He just didn't think it would have to happen so soon. He assumed he would have more time. Now it seems, he didn't have any.

If you omit all of the days they've spoken to each other online previously, then they have technically only known each other for a little over two weeks. But they've only exchanged words together for half of that. To the outsider looking in, they're strangers. They shouldn't be able to know each other so well. Sasuke had thought it would take longer, more time interacting together to maybe–possibly make Naruto question something. But Naruto was already kind of sensing something was amiss despite the fact they've hardly seen each other at all.

Sasuke has never wished more than in this very moment that he lied to Naruto. If he had lied that first day about his name, he wouldn't be in this situation now. Naruto wouldn't have the context of his name to even be slightly reminded of the person he knew through the screen.

He's starting to slightly panic. He worries if his attempt was futile in the end after all. What if Naruto just ghosted him because he was completely done?

Not some other arbitrary reason Sasuke could come up with in the few months that they didn't speak. Did that mean that he was just holding on to the frayed edges of their relationship? Trying to grasp onto something that wasn't there anymore since it was one of the only things keeping him together for a while. Was all of this just a blind-sighted attempt to hold on when he should have let go?

Is he angry? Does Naruto think he's some batshit crazy stalker now?

"What do you mean?" Okay, maybe he's getting ahead of himself, Naruto doesn't sound angry...but he does sound like he wants an answer in the next three seconds.

Sasuke takes a serious look at him. He's really so much better looking in person. He remembers the way he looked in the pictures, and the camera did not do him justice. Naruto was pretty much everything Sasuke imagined he'd be like, and he didn't want it to end just yet. But if Naruto told him he was crazy, and to leave him the hell alone, he'd oblige. Probably move halfway across the world after that too.

He had forced himself to think that he still had a chance even if he didn't because he refused to believe Naruto would just throw all that they had away. What did all of those months of talking mean to him? Did they hold the same weight in his heart, or was it so easily discarded after all? He felt like a fool the longer he thought about it. He also hates the fact that he had to be confronted about this to finally even think about it.

"It's me."

In the spiral of his thoughts, he knows that's not the answer he should be giving. It's not the explanation Naruto deserves but he wants it to be enough because explaining just about everything seemed like an incredibly overwhelming task at the moment. Naruto needs more than just that, and Sasuke can practically see his mind light up with questions instantaneously.
